Staff at the preschool were left shaken when they came in on Friday morning to find the damage but luckily no one was hurt. Images show the shattered windows and glass shards littered around.
There is CCTV and Police Scotland are now investigating.
Speaking to Edinburgh Live, manager Lynn said: "My nursery (Almond Park in Musselburgh) has now been subject to vandals. A staff member's house has also been targeted although no damage.
"So disappointing and upsetting.
"My staff have arrived to work yesterday morning and again this morning to find the vandalism.
"We have been there nine years and had nothing, no trouble."
Another staff member at the nursery wrote on the Facebook page: "Two nights…two broken windows. Really not acceptable.
"Whoever you are, can you just stop what you are doing please. 9 years and no vandalism, now this. Why?
"What have we done to you? It’s not smart, it’s not clever, it’s just very very sad that you think it’s okay to do this.
"Is this how you get your kicks? Vandalising other people’s property? We hope your parents are very proud of you!"
Adding: "Just so as you know, you are a star on our cctv and we’ve handed over the footage to the police.
"To say we are gutted in an understatement. This is more money we will have to pay out all because a selfish thug thought they would give themselves and their mates a laugh at our expense.
"If you live in the area and saw anything please let us know.
"Please like and share this as wide as possible so we can embarrass the vandal(s) who did this and hope we can catch them before they do anymore serious damage.

"Please just stop, the impacts of your behaviour go beyond the in the moment high you are getting from your anti social behaviour.
"What you do impacts on everyone in our extended community even back to your own family! Just stop it please, and grow up. Your actions have consequences.
"If you see any suspicious activity please call 999 and report it to the police. We have to nip this in the bud."
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 9.20 am on Friday, 21 October 2022, a report was made to police of a vandalism at a nursery school in MacBeth Moir Road, Musselburgh.
